Although cyanobacteria do not have chloroplasts, they do have thylakoid membrane, where photosynthesis occur.
Organisms formerly known as blue-green algae are actually cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are a type of bacteria that can perform photosynthesis like plants, leading to their previous misclassification as algae.
Cyanobacteria are now classified as part of the domain Bacteria. They are prokaryotic organisms that are capable of performing photosynthesis like plants and algae.
Lichen is a mixture of algae / cyanobacteria and fungi. Lichens may look like plants but they do not reproduce with flowers. Lichens do not have roots like plants. They grow on plants as a substrate not as a parasite.
A suitable antonym for algae could be "land plant," referring to plants that grow on land rather than in water like algae.
No, plants like seaweed and algae live completely or partly underwater. -A.D.

Photosynthesis is the process which creates glucose using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight = C6H12O6 + 6 O2.

yes, some of them can like algae
No, the holdfast of brown algae functions to anchor the algae to a substrate, similar to roots in land plants. The blade serves as the main photosynthetic structure, akin to leaves in land plants. Brown algae do not have traditional stems like land plants.
Cyanobacteria lack chloroplasts, which are organelles found in alga and plant cells responsible for photosynthesis. Instead, cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis using thylakoid membranes within their cytoplasm. This fundamental difference highlights the distinction between eukaryotic organisms, like plants and algae, which possess membrane-bound organelles, and prokaryotic organisms like cyanobacteria.
No, lichen is a symbiotic organism formed from a partnership between a fungus and either algae or cyanobacteria. It is not classified as a plant because it does not have roots, leaves, or true stems like plants do.
Cyanobacteria and green algae are not considered to be plants due to several reasons. First, they are prokaryotic, meaning they are unicellular in nature. Second, they do not contain cellulose in their cell walls, like plants do. Thirdly, their DNA is "naked", and not condensed into chromosomes like plants. One final reason is that they reproduce through binary fission, much like bacteria do.
Chloroplasts are typically found in plant cells, as well as in some protists like algae. These organelles are responsible for photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants and algae convert sunlight into energy.
